If you use 0.98.6 or above, the easiest way is the following:

 - create a directory, say /dos
 - move io.sys, msdos.sys, command.com to /dos
 - add your favorite config.sys/autoexec.bat
 - put a symlink in /var/lib/dosemu pointing to /dos, say
   ln -s /dos /var/lib/dosemu/dos
 - change the $_hdimge line in /etc/dosemu.conf to
     $_hdimage = "dos"

That�s it. Works with MS-DOS up to (at least) version 7.

If you want to try a different flavor of DOS, you�ll need an additional
step:

 - put this DOS�s boot block into /dos/boot.blk
     dd if=/dev/xxxx of=/dos/boot.blk bs=1b count=1
     (if your DOS is on /dev/xxxx (xxxx may be hda1 of fd0 or whatever))


Bye,

Steffen
